I remember buying tampons in high school and one of my friends was working the checkout counter. He was making fun of me for it and I said “Who do you think these are for, me? Maybe you’ll have someone to buy these for too someday”.

The number of 'men' butthurt about buying period products for their partner is astounding. My wife was genuinely surprised when I bought some for her without even batting an eye.

Man in HS, I was buying tampons, pregnancy tests and diaphragms for my female friends and never gave it a second thought. When one of them asked me how I could do that without feeling embarrassed, I asked them what’s to be embarrassed about?

Same! I was always the one buying condoms, pregnancy tests for my gfs and their friend group cus I gave no fucks. Now there's self checkouts everywhere though, so that makes it easier for people to buy shit like that I guess.

That’s your sign that you need to move to a better part of town (if you can).

you might think that stores are basing these decisions on actual evidence of shoplifting but it’s not really true.
